The story of Jay and Gino is a glimse into the lives of the homless and the persecution they face from the City of Fresno.

Gino is a Vietname veteran that lives South of the Rescue Mission, the epicenter of the homeless population in Fresno. He recently has his pet kittens kill by Fresno city workers. To read about the murder of those kittens, see Pamela Kincaid's story

Jay, a good friend of Gino's, lives about a mile South of Geno's shelter near Jensen and highway 99. Since he is away from the epicenter of the homeless population he says his group gets harassed less. Jay became homeless recently due to a work related injury. He was being paid under the table, with an employer that did not cover his employees under Workers' Compensation

Both Jay and Geno were glad to hear about the Temporary Restraining Order that will stop the Fresno police from taking and immediately destroying their property. They were both given cameras and agreed to take pictures of any police activity in the area.
